This document provides definitions and concepts related to industrialization and economic development. It lists terms like agglomeration economies, primary and tertiary sectors, labor-intensive industries, and location theory. It also outlines topics the reader should be able to discuss, such as using indicators to classify countries, explaining theories of development, providing examples of different economic sectors, and describing factors that influence the location of manufacturing. The reader is expected to understand models of economic growth, the relationship between less and more developed countries, and the environmental and social impacts of industrialization.
